  • March 12, 2005: Binary Soul Doctrine - Peter Novak | Alternative Fuels - Willie Nelson

    Art Bell opens with breaking news of a fireball streaking across the Oregon sky and sonic booms reported across the Midwest. Country music legend Willie Nelson joins the program to discuss biodiesel fuel, explaining how his tour buses run on 100% soybean-based diesel with no engine modifications required. Willie describes the environmental and economic benefits, including reduced dependence on foreign oil and support for American farmers, and invites truckers to try biodiesel at his truck stop south of Dallas. In the second half, former psychological counselor Peter Novak presents his research into the Binary Soul Doctrine, an ancient belief found across dozens of cultures that humans possess two separate souls. He argues these correspond to what modern science identifies as the conscious and unconscious mind, or left and right brain. Novak explains how this theory accounts for near-death experiences, ghosts, past life regression, and reincarnation, suggesting the two halves divide at death. Novak connects his theory to the interior passages of the Great Pyramid, interpreting the forking passageways as a map of what the ancient Egyptians believed happened after death. He also discusses how early Christianity originally included reincarnation before it was removed from doctrine in the fourth century to increase state control over the population.

  • March 12, 2005: Binary Soul Doctrine - Peter Novak | Alternative Fuels - Willie Nelson

    Can the human soul actually split in two after death? Peter Novak presents his revolutionary Binary Soul Doctrine, proposing that consciousness divides into unconscious spirit and conscious soul at the moment of death, explaining everything from reincarnation to ghostly encounters. Before diving into this metaphysical territory, Willie Nelson joins the program to discuss his pioneering work with biodiesel fuel, demonstrating how vegetable oil can power vehicles while reducing environmental impact. Novak's theory suggests this soul division influences political polarization, religious conflicts, and even alien abduction reports. Drawing from ancient Gnostic texts and modern near-death experiences, he argues that understanding our binary nature could revolutionize how we perceive consciousness, afterlife communication, and human psychology. This exploration challenges conventional beliefs about death, offering a startling new framework for understanding the eternal mysteries of human existence.

  • Steve Chadie: Working With Willie Nelson (Revisited)

    Steve Chadie, a 25+ year veteran of the recording industry, began his career as an intern at Willie Nelson's Pedernales recording studio in 1995, quickly working his way up to Assistant Engineer for Larry Greenhill.

Most recently, Steve co-produced “The Willie Nelson Family”, a collection of songs done with his band in March 2019 and with his immediate family at the beginning of the pandemic in April 2020. Other credits with Willie include tracking engineer on "Heroes”, "Let's Face The Music And Dance”, “Django And Jimmie” (Willie's collaboration with Merle Haggard in 2015) and mixing on "December Day", a collection of work he recorded with Willie and his sister Bobbie in between touring on impromptu sessions that date as far back as 2004. Steve has been awarded a double platinum record for Los Lonely Boys "Heaven" and was nominated for a Grammy for the song "Heaven", as well. He has recorded and/or mixed five Los Lonely Boys records since their debut release. Other accolades include a triple platinum record for work done on Sublime's "Sublime" and a platinum record for work on Hillary Duff's self-titled recording "Hillary Duff".

  • Shirley Collie Nelson: In and Out of Harmony with Willie Nelson
    About A Girl

    Shirley Collie helped launch Willie Nelson’s solo career back before the name “Willie Nelson” meant anything to anyone. As a guitarist and singer who climbed to the top tier of the country music circuit as just a teenager, she traded her trajectory as a recording artist and staple of the silver screen for a life with the duet partner of her dreams. But it wasn’t long before her life with Willie fell out of harmony…and fell into a twister of stagnation, loneliness, and jealousy.

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/420904 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Me and Sister Bobbie: True Tales of the Family Band Author: Bobbie Nelson, Willie Nelson, David Ritz Narrator: Bobbie Nelson, Willie Nelson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 56 minutes Release date: September 15, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 6 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: The untold story of Willie Nelson and his sister, Bobbie, who, over the course of their lives together, supported each other through personal tragedies and triumphs and forged an unbreakable bond through their shared love of music “Tender and intimate.”—The New Yorker “Poignant, beautiful, heartfelt.”—New York Journal of Books ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Rolling Stone, Kirkus Reviews Abandoned by their parents as toddlers, Willie and Bobbie Nelson found their love of music almost immediately through their grandparents, who raised them in a small Texas town. Their close relationship was the longest-lasting bond in both their lives. In alternating chapters, this heartfelt dual memoir weaves together both their stories as they experienced them side by side and apart. The Nelsons share powerful, emotional moments from growing up, playing music in public for the first time, and facing trials in adulthood, as Willie pursued songwriting and Bobbie faced a series of challenging relationships and a musical career that took off only when attitudes about women began to change in Texas. This is Bobbie’s only memoir, and in it she candidly shares her life story in full. Her deeply affecting chapters delve into her personal relationships and life as a mother and as a musician with technical skills that even Willie admits surpass his own. In his poignant stories, Willie shares the depth of his bond with his sister, and how that bond carried him through his most troubled moments. Willie and Bobbie supported each other through unthinkable personal heartbreak, and they always shared in each other’s victories. Through dizzying highs and traumatic lows, spanning almost nine decades of life, Willie and Bobbie always had each other’s back. Their story is an inspiring, lyrical statement of how family always finds the way.
